Do these cars have a BOV as standard?

  1. Probably a basic question but I dont know the answer. Do they have a standard BOV?

    I've not had a proper turboed car for about 8 years and love these ?
     
  2. It has a recirculation valve not a blow off valve
     
  3. But if you fit an open cone / ITG induction kit it will sound like it has a BOV
     
  4. thank you. I'm probably a bit old for that stuff at 38 ha

    Adding an open air filter sounds much different to a dump valve / blow off valve.

    Just an air filter sounds like a mass of air being pushed back out the engine. A bov/dump sounds like a whistle and sounds gay.
     
  6. ha ha it sounds childish but I remember them fondly from my old 200sx's and Skyline from years ago.

    Gay or not I want one when I get a Megane. I know the mrs will hate it

    If the mrs hates it, even more of a reason to do it then :wink:
     
  8. 'Sounds gay' is a very perjorative term and not at all appropriate for a forum like this imo . @Simonas, if you dislike the whoosh being too loud, then you can just add the BOV whilst leaving the recirc valve in place. I've done this and it's 1/2 as loud so a bit more subtle but yet still there
     
  9. my very gay friend would find that highly amusing! :smile:
     
  10. As above fitting a cone filter or even just a free flowing panel filter you get a fair bit of the recirc valve noise, but it's not a aggressive as a atmospheric dump valve so doesn't sound quite so try hard.
     
  11. Can I report this to a moderator????? oh yeah you are one rofl, but tut tut tut none the less.

    Simonas ignore Will, I got a bov and I am 53 and I love love lovit lol, I waste a few gals going under bridges a month hahahaha sad and I still love it ..........
